My elements are cardstock, patterned paper, buttons, layers, pearls, brads, felt heart, chipboard, twine, and sequins, and ribbon. I kept counting and adding more and more...yesss...I have eleven!

Hi again!

Happy weekend to you! It's Saturday, so here I am again! Yeah, I may even work on another card yet today! After my difficult challenging card(see previous post), I thought I'd try a Valentine card. I was hoping to get the effect of hearts floating in the sky. It's a very simple card. Well, I'll admit not real simple 'cause I had an accident with the blue alcohol ink. Uh huh, all over my hands. I was gonna take a pic of my hands, but I'm sure you can imagine. :-) I just love the bright colors for Valentine's Day, so I'll be making more cards! OK...thanks for taking a peek...take care!
Supplies:
Paper: Glossy card stock(Ranger Ink, Bazzill

Good Morning All!

Wow! Did you all think this was a challenge, huh?! Well, it certainly was for me! This combination of colors would not be in my usual craft making. After I was finished, I thought... hmmmm... maybe I should have done a Christmas theme. But, here is my card. The running water spoke to me and so I wanted to go more spring/summer. I added glossy accents to leaves on the card to make it look like rain. I found the big(ugly) green button in my stash(my button jar from a flea market)and tried to "pretty" it up with some gems. Anyways, thanks for taking a peek and I enjoy any comments! Take care and have a great day!
